Controls are not cooperating with me all of a sudden.

Question

I've been working on my project and trying to make the animation and coding work. I added the animations but now all of a sudden, the movement in the player script is all broken and not working.

This is my only script, so there's no other ones I need to publish, if you'd like to see my Animator or anything else like that, let me know.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
 
     //General Variables
     public float speed;
     private Rigidbody2D rb;
     private GameObject sword;
 
     //Class Setting Variables
     public PlayerClassTypes eCurClass = PlayerClassTypes.Tank;
 
     //Animator Variables
     Animator sword_Anim;
 
     void Start () 
     {
         //Sets variables automatically on launch
         sword_Anim = sword.GetComponent<Animator> ();
         sword = GameObject.Find ("Sword");
         rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate () 
     {
 
         //Making the velocity variables to make 'fake friction'
         Vector3 easeVelocity = rb.velocity;
         easeVelocity.y *= 0.75f;
         easeVelocity.z = 0.0f;
         easeVelocity.x *= 0.75f;
 
         //Sets the variables to move them up and down
         float h = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
         float v = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
 
         //Fake Friction / Easing the x speed of our player
         rb.velocity = easeVelocity;
         
         //Moving the player up and down
         rb.AddForce (Vector2.up * speed * v);
         rb.AddForce (Vector2.right * speed * h);
     }
 
     //Sets the Player classes
     public enum PlayerClassTypes
     {
         Tank,
         DPS,
         Healer
     }
 
     //Handles the Tank class
     void HandleTankState ()
     {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
             {
             //Starts Sword Swing animation
             sword_Anim.SetBool("swing_Animation", true);
             }
     }
 }

The error message I'm getting is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/Scripts/Player.cs:30)"

Thanks for looking over my script and any input at all would be very helpful!

I found out what was wrong. I didn't reference the sword variable correctly and ended up going a different method to calling it.
